I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Ogmore Vale is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Ogmore Vale are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ogmore Vale you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ogmore Vale may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Ogmore Vale with the intention of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Ogmore Vale can be reduced if you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers. A minority of Ogmore Vale leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where a dispute is ongoing. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should make sure that you are holding the original share certificate. Organising a re-issued share certificate can be a lengthy formality and slows down many a Ogmore Vale home move. If a duplicate share certificate is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where relevant) for this sooner rather than later. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Ogmore Vale leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord approving such changes. If you fail to have the paperwork to hand do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your lawyer in the first instance.
